Back to AI - Compellon

To Dr. Ryszard Michalski, the man who coined the term "Machine Learning," did a lot to advance the field, and who, sadly, passed away on September 20, 2015. I first visited the prominent AI researcher Dr. Ryszard Michalski in 1990. At the time his research division at George Mason University (Virginia) was called "The Center for Artificial Intelligence." On a subsequent visit two years later it was called "The Center for Machine Learning." I was curious and asked Dr. Michalski why he renamed his center in spite of no visible change of direction in his research or that of his colleagues.
